Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Acton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What else we do in Acton
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire floor
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
